Abstract

We present a case of a 53-year-old female patient with a left parotid tumor, with slow evolution, progressive growth and ipsilateral otalgia during later months. She was previously studied by tomography of the neck with contrast and magnetic resonance, which showed the mass of the deep lobe to have benign imaging characteristics. A parotidectomy of deep lobe was performed, with tumoral resection, preserving the facial nerve with the exception of the marginal branch. The biopsy was informed as epithelial-myoephitelial carcinoma, a rare salivary gland tumor. We completed the parotidectomy with neck dissection and Radiotherapy complementary was made. Besides we presented a literature review.
